Excellent bridge camera
I'd had a Fuji HS10 for many years, and taken some really good photos of wildlife in the game parks when on holiday, amongst the more usual holiday and family photos. Then, on holiday in New Zealand, the viewfinder image went blurred and the lens rattled - an inner lens had detached itself and that was that. New camera needed. It was like a bereavement of an old friend or faithful dog. Scanning eBay for a 2nd hand replacement there were very few bridge Fujis of the current or recent model coming up for sale so read a number of reviews and the Canon SX50 seemed to be a close equivalent - and there were lots available. Lurked for a while to get an idea of the price and eventually went for one that was in excellent condition, but at the top of the price range. Delivery was prompt, and the camera exactly as described - in fact it looked almost brand new. I don't normally post reviews, but choosing a camera is a major decision and one I didn't take lightly - so maybe my review will help others in the same position. We often take a picture which can never be repeated - so choosing the right camera can contribute to recording significant and unrepeatable events in our lives. This is one powerful camera. More spec than the old Fuji, of course, and the development in technology over the past 10 years shows. I'd used the Fuji's 720 zoom fairly regularly but didn't think I'd need the 1200 zoom of the Canon very much. But, once you have that facility you use it. Image quality is better than my old Fuji and the stabilisation seems to work well. I use a monopod for long range shots anyway. So far I've not found anything I don't like but am still getting used to the functionality and the menu structure - which naturally differs from the Fuji. The Canon has all the functions you'd expect from a modern digital bridge camera - and I can't think of any other functions that I'd need as a keen amateur. There cannot be many situations where the Canon won't help you manage the lighting or shutter speed conditions to the very best of your ability. Not sure yet about the motorised zoom - I liked the Fujis manual zoom - it was easier to get the framing just right - but that's a minor consideration. I also liked the Fujis automatic switching between the EVF and the screen - the Canon has to be manually switched. The Canon's EVF is 200k pixels, less than later models, but it's still fine, and the rear screen is very good anyway. So, there are differences - I liked my old Fuji, maybe I'd just got comfortable with it, and I'm still getting used to the Canon - like a new pair of shoes. But the updated Fuji was effectively unavailable, so it had to be an alternative. Still getting to grips with Canon's bundled RAW image processing DPP software as I'd previously used Google's Picasa - which is no longer available. I can't think of any image processing facility I'd need that isn't in DPP. So, nothing bad to say, the Canon SX50 is a very, very good camera for the enthusiastic amateur who does not want to carry a full spec DSLR and a range of lenses and the weight and bulk penalty when on holiday. If you are unused to a Canon, as I am, there's a learning curve, but one that seems to be easy to move along if you spend time with the manual and the camera. The goldfinch is a processed image, the broken fence (with difficult back lighting) and the bikes are both unprocessed. Not long before the Fuji died, so did my old faithful dog. I now have a new best friend camera, all I now need is a new dog. Hopefully he'll be just as good a friend as my new Canon SX50 HS.

Great little camera
I use this camera for supporting evidence in property assessment. It is reliable, producing consistent good quality images in varying light at all ranges from macro to full zoom. Compact, light and easy to use with no great photographic skills required . A good quality point and shoot with extra capability if you want it.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Superb purchase
As a complete amateur this camera has made photo taking as easy as A B C. The clarity of images is incredible,i am delighted with this camera as a starting point to catch some everlasting memories . So so easy to use and user friendly top marks to canon power shot. There will be better cameras out there i am sure but for value for money this little beauty holds its own every day of the week for me ....Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Very impressed!
I wanted something a little more technical than the point and shoot I usually use, but couldn't justify spending a fortune on a DSLR camera so this bridge camera is perfect. It is fairly easy to use, the components seem very good quality, and the picture quality is great. I feel more like a photographer in control of the settings but it isn't as complicated as a bigger setup. The 50x zoom and the HDR is fantastic but you will likely need to use a tripod for these features. The flash is a tad weak but I don't often use it anyway. XVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Good value now the newer model is out!
I am new to this level of photography, so making a decision on which camera to buy was difficult. A Canon EOS was out of my price range especially with extra glass, so looked at a bridge and this one was recommended to me. I carefully studied reviews of the SX50 vs the SX60 and in my opinion this one won out. I am working my way through the User Manual which is very inforrmative and not too technical, so I can learn all of it's features & hope to be shooting some quality shots (with a lot of practice!) soon.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Excellent purchase for a novice photographer
I have been thinking about buying a camera to take record shots of birds and other wildlife whilst out and about. A friend lent me a Canon HS50 to try out and I was impressed by its ease to use and that I could carry it around without it becoming a burden (I also carry bins and a telescope). When he told it was an Ebay purchase I decided to look out for any that came up and was successful in my bid. I'm no Chris Packham but the auto function is so easy to use that I haven't gone much further than using that at the moment. The only frustrating thing is that sometimes when zooming in the auto focus does not select the subject you want it to so it results in zooming in and out to see whether it does (well thats what I do if there is a better solution then I'm all ears..) by which time the subject matter may well have moved on but this is only a minor gripe. In my opinion a worthwhile purchase.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Power shot idiosyncraticism
I own various Canon cameras from EOS 1 mk 3, EOS 40, EOS 550 with a selection of lenses from 100mm macro through f1.4 50mm prime to 300mm telethrough a selection of others. They are probably ALL better at doing their job than the Powershot SX 50 HS. But I am on holiday, with the Powershot held easily in my hand and it is so convenient, from small insects on a flower close up, to a bird in a tree 100 m away, to video of waves crashing onto the shore and lots, lots more. Drawback? Just one. It's all menu driven so can be slow to set up the picture. And it clicks, and whirrs and thinks and misses that expression on the dog's face that you might have caught. Value for money? Yes, absolutely.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great budget camera for wildlife shots- especially at distance.
Have owned this model of camera for over 6 years and just bought a second identical model for a family member. 50x optical zoom makes this camera great for the amateur naturalist and birdwatcher. The ability to be able to tilt the fold- out screen to different angles allow you to take more interesting and artistic pictures. The camera has an image stabiliser and automatic and manual modes. It is great value for money option on the second-hand market. Highly recommended.
